Stupid Things.

What is the stupidest thing you have done in your car?

For me, after a wedding I drove home so rottenly drunk I couldn't remember most of the ride. Drove right through the city centre. I remember stopping at the lights and hanging my head out the door and barfing and the rest is a complete blank. I had also been offered a ride and even a room in the hotel for free. Luckily I didnt hit anything or anyone and amazingly I did not even get stopped. That was in New Zealand.

Here probably the worst thing would be going too fast down my driveway and getting major understeer on the gravel and nearly taking out a few posts. Got round letting the brake off to get the wheels to regain grip (no ABS here) although the rims had dirt caked into them where the wheel dug into the ground as it plowed round.

" I was watching a friend who was at a Road Drag Meeting and as I pulled up, I drove right over a RoadWorks sign saying "Detour" It was infront of about 50 people. Needless to say I never got out to see the damage, I just drove off in a hurry"

after reading his first paragraph, you are saying spinning your tires is a bad idea?

Dude, seriously, dont drink and drive. It's not worth risking your life and others.

Hey I'm 17 only been driving for a year... no huge problems here. Key point was that it was a gravel lot - imagine kicking up hundereds of rocks on your paint at high speed. NOT good for paint.
